"Many, many years ago one of my English TA officemates noticed that a student wrote 'writhing' instead of 'writing.' We spent the rest of the afternoon inserting 'writhing' into textbook titles ('Writhing with a Purpose') and other phrases like 'technical writhing.' My favorite: 'writhing across the curriculum.'” --peg

Gawk Radio: Were Raunchy Videos Shot in University Station's Studio?
Listeners to one program last month on Montclair State University’s student-run radio station, WMSC, may have been missing most of the action, according to university officials who this week said they had begun an investigation into whether raunchy videos had been filmed in the studio while the show was in progress.
Today’s issue of The Record, a New Jersey newspaper, reports that the videos featured naked women, lap dancing, and oral sex. The images, which appear to have been shot in the studio, were posted on Web sites of a WMSC disc jockey and on MySpace, the social-networking site.
The show was canceled this week, after a parent complained, and the university is now trying to determine if any of the people in the videos are students, and if the images were filmed on university property. Minne Ho, a spokeswoman for the university, told The Record that students could be expelled if their behavior is found to detract from “the core mission of the university.”
The controversy is the second this year involving a media outlet at Montclair State. In January the student government blocked funds for The Montclarion, a student newspaper, in a dispute over access to closed meetings of the government. The dispute was settled by an agreement to formally separate the newspaper from the government. The radio station, which is also under the authority of the student government, could also end up separated from it, said Ms. Ho. —Andrew Mytelka

And yet if only the DJs had thought to bill their segment as an exploration of the sex worker industry they could have avoided this trouble. Heck, they probably could have applied for funds from the student association for the show.
